Processor
NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell's relationship products that are managed for availability and
synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This
allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs.
They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.
The following GSP processors identified below will be made available to Dell customers.
NOTE:
Processor numbers are not a measure of performance.
Quad Core processors require a discrete add-in graphics card.
Processor availability subject to change and may vary by region/country

Advanced System Manageability Modes NOTE: Hardware management mode options allow you to select the right systems management feature support for your
enterprise. Dell’s innovative approach to scalable remote client management offers you a choice of built-in hardware
management capabilities across platform offerings.
The latest generation of Intel® vPro™ technology provides the capability to manage your install base of systems regardless
of the power state or hardware functionality of the system.
This functionality allows IT to address issues remotely rather than having to physically visit systems.
The OptiPlex 980 supports the latest generation of Intel® vPro™ technology.
Intel® iAMT technology/ Intel® vPro™ technology supports the following features:
-Asset reporting and inventory capabilities, Remote Power Control, Remote troubleshooting and repair, Client System
Isolation, Remote patching/ updating, DASH support and IPv6 Support
-Intel® vPro™ technology adds these additional features:
- “Fast Call for Help” (Client Initiated Remote Access / Local Access), Remote KVM with UMA GFX, Microsoft NAP support,
Hardened security monitoring, VT support, TxT support and Support for the latest generation of Intel® iCore™ Processors
*The functionality described above requires an appropriate software management console

Memory Your computer supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory when you use four 4-GB DIMMs; however, 32-bit operating systems, such as the 32-bit version of Microsoft® Windows® XP, can only use a maximum of 4 GB of address space. Moreover, certain components within the computer require address space in the 4GB range. Any address space reserved for these components cannot be used by computer memory; therefore, the amount of memory available to the operating system is less than 4GB.
NOTE: The entire 16-GB memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.
Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance.

1 The total amount of available memory will be less than 4GB. The amount less depends on the actual system configuration. To fully
utilize 4GB or more of memory requires a 64-bit enabled processor and 64-bit operating system.

Chassis Enclosure & Ventilation Requirements
Enclosure Ventilation If your enclosure has doors, they need to be of a type that allows at least 30% airflow through the enclosure (front and back). Enclosure Minimum Clearance Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in.) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
Recommended Enclosure Do not install your computer in an enclosure that does not allow airflow. This restricts the airflow and impacts your computer’s performance, possibly causing it to overheat. Open Desk Minimum Clearance If your computer is installed in a corner, on a desk, or under a desk, leave at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) clearance from the back of the computer to the wall to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
